Holiday Cheer!

 Hello all,

We arrived home from our European River Cruise vacation Friday, late afternoon. It was a FABULOUS trip. 

On Saturday, after unpacking, doing laundry, getting everything put away, going through the mail and a few other chores, I headed to my craft room to see what challenges awaited, I was anxious to get back to card making. I settled on the Freshly Made Sketches challenge, hosted this week by Karen. What a fun layout! I've used all GKD products to make this holiday card. This cute mouse set is the alternate mini free set for the month of September at GKD, and it's called Christmas Friends.

The top section is made using a new layering stencil called Modern Poinsettia. The bottom section is dry embossed using the Holiday Flora embossing folder. I used the middle sized tag from Gina's Stitched tag die set, cutting it from Layering Weight White card stock. The images, with the exception of the greeting, are one stamp, and are colored with Copics. I also added some background stenciling with light gray ink.

For the inside, I used the left over stenciled paper and added a greeting from another GKD mini set called Two Step Holiday Greeting.

Thanks for looking in today, and have a great week.

Colleen
